Asking for gold to leave someone alone when they are grinding in IC

billybailey1982ub17_ESO
So I was in IC grinding on mobs when I found this 1 player constantly killing me over and over again. I asked for him to please stop killing me and to let us grind. He proceeded to tell me to send him 20K gold for each member in my group and only then he would leave us alone. Does this sound like a part of the game that should be allowed to happen? Has this ever happened to anyone else?

    Take a picture of his chat, report him for harassment. It's one thing for him to just kill you over and over, that's okay. But when he's extorting you for it, you might be able to get him for that.

    Great idea, I should try that aswell, seems like easy money >:)
    But seriously, the I've only seen the opposite so far (getting money to protect a grinder or clear a grindspot). Then again I usually don't get killed frequently while grinding.

    Not sure it counts as harassment, since OP asked to be left alone in a PVP zone. The PVPer named a cost for OP's request.

    It's extortion, yes, but the PVPer didn't initiate the conversation.

    You see your comment as you being humorous but it is a fail at its most.

    This type of thing is harassment and I AM SURE ZOS will not allow players to hold their game for ransom from other player's enjoyment. It's like hacking someone's ESO account and only letting them play if they pay you a subscription fee aside from ZoS'.

    Report it.

    The number 1 reason people die in IC is because they don't repair their armor. Broken armor means zero mitigation. As one guildie said, "most players are just one Ulti away from death." Zos should never have mixed pve and pvp in the same zone. The least they could do is allow armor to be undamaged from mobs there.

    Oh I agree, at 100% gear integrity in the Arboretum District I can manage 3 enemy players and ads on my tanky magicka DK light armor build but once I hit the sewers and my gear is suffering from an hour and a half of trophy grinding just one player can kill me.

    Another thing is, that as you gear gets damaged your resources suffer as well so even if you want to you can't truly defend yourself as much as you want to.

    Solution: Carry repair kits.

    It's not harassment at all. He's in a pvp zone and the other guy is killing him. Even if the guy says pay me and I'll leave you alone it's still not harassment.

    I see your comment as a fail. If OP were just better at pvp then he wouldn't keep getting rekt by someone he outnumbers. It isn't harassment since the ganker was responding to a question he was asked. Said ganker was only negotiating with someone. Killing grinders has value, as such, leaving them alone will need to create a greater value, in the event that said grinders are unable to defend themselves.

    Unfortunately OP griefers exist. Fortunately though you stop getting xp from someone after killing that same person a certain number of times so he's just wasting his time if he is constantly killing you while you have little to no TV Stones.

    I'm not saying I support that tactic or anything, but I can't really blame the guy for killing easy prey in a PvP area (even though it is in poor taste).
    I suppose you can make a case to the devs about how he may be intentionally extorting you, but that will only work if its apparent that he's camping your grinding spot for the sole purpose of stopping your grind (as opposed to say, getting PvP kills for AP).

    There's plenty you can do. I pvp all the time and I can count on 1 hand how many times I've died to this combo. Try blocking

    No, see you are not wrapping your head around the concept of "principals" pull yourself away from the fact its a game and go over Zenimax Online's ToS.
